How to pack your bags for (short) travel

Hi,
I know it's been a while since I last posted something.
Today I wanted to talk about packing for a trip with the plane.
Because when you'll read this I will be in Portugal with my sister and her bff.
We're going for a girls trip in the sun and will be gone for 5 days, but I'll update you about that in another blog :)

How to prepare before your holiday. (this is for the summer, for the winter I would pack warmer)

• After booking

          - Are all my documents / passport still valid? If not make sure all is are valid.              

• 2 weeks before departure

           - Do I need to buy any medication?

           - Can I still fit in all my clothes / swimwear?

• A week before departure

          - Do I have all my reservation documents?

          - Is my medical bag in order?

          - Are all my liquids under 100 ml and in total under 1l?

          - Do I need to buy anything else?

          - Do the last of your shopping (small deodorant, shampoo, body lotion,...).

• 48h before departure

          - Online check in for the plane.

          - Pack your bags (suitcase + hand luggage)

          - Make sure you don't have to much with you, check the weight you can bring (for us it's 10kg)

          - Print out all the needed documents

          - Take a cope of your passport / driver license.

What to pack?

• Medicines

          Dafalgan (or whatever you take for headaches), creme for wounds + band aids

• Beauty

          Sunscreen + aftersun, body lotion, shampoo + conditioner, make up + make up remover,               hairbrush, toothbrush + toothpaste, ... 

• Clothes

          1 shorts, 1 dress, 1 skirt, 3 t-shirts, 1 sweater, sunglasses / glasses, swimsuit, beach towel + beach bag, underwear, pajama, shoes (1 closed pair / one open pair)

What to wear on the plane?

I like to go casual, nothing fancy on a plane for me :)

I'll wear my legging with a t-shirt and a hoodie, we fly in the evening to go and in the night in return so I need my hoodie :) I'm always cold in the plane.

I also like to wear layers because if you go to the sun like I do now you'll want to undress a bit at arrival, if you leave from a colder country :)

This is my packing list for a short holiday in a sunny destination, if I would go longer I would of course take more and if I would go out of the summer I would take warmer clothes :)

I wish you all a great holiday with a lot of sun 🌅

Love,

Sarah
